ARC Israel Updates

Day 192 of Swords of Iron – A Passover Miracle

 

Chaim starts the video by talking about how Israelis are celebrating this morning, giving praise to God for this miracle of the missile barrage from Iran the previous day being almost completely repelled, with most of the incoming weapons being shot down even before they got to Israel. Many who might have been agnostic or even atheist are being compelled to admit that this was a miracle and since there’s only one true God who does miracles, it’s forcing many to think about what they can no longer deny.

Chaim says that the proxies of Iran in Yemen and Lebanon also tried to join into the effort to destroy Israel, but their efforts also failed. The Iranian parliament and others cheered the attacks, even though they were a failure. Chaim compares this to the spirit of Haman, from the recently passed Purim festival.

Chaim says there are discussions being held at the United Nations over how to respond to this, and Israeli leaders are saying they will form a regional coalition to confront this aggression. The Iranian regime, which is deeply unpopular with its own population, has been rattling its saber for years, threatening not only Israel but its own regional neighbors, and it’s long past time for it to be confronted.

Chaim says that there’s one thing that is quite certain, and that is that the people of Israel must be strong to manage this situation. He quotes Zephaniah 3:17; The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Chaim then invites his viewers to join the Aliyah Return Center for the upcoming Passover celebration, saying that it’s time to celebrate Passover past, present and future. He also asks his viewers to continue supporting the ARC as they seek to be a blessing to the many families who have fled the war zones near the border with Gaza and the border with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon. Chaim then talks about some of the many other activities of the ARC and he invites his viewers to be part of it all.

The scene then shifts to the ARC’s Lone Soldier House, where Chaim is with a young soldier named Benny .

Update (Day 879) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Ground invasion into Lebanon”

Shalom khaverim, shalom friends. I am Sergeant Major Chaim Malespin. I serve in Israel’s Combat Engineering Corps, in the Yahalom elite unit for special missions. I’ve been deployed for 879 consecutive days—since Hamas attacked us in October 2023. I’ve served in Lebanon and Gaza, dealing with tunnels and ongoing operations to defend Israel in this national emergency, with only brief rests.

Update (Day 878) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Defend Against Hezbollah”

Wow. It’s Purim! In today’s video update I’m standing beside D9 bulldozers and tanks defending Israel—against Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north, and Iran behind them all. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has attacked again, firing missiles at us. We will not tolerate this anymore. The Houthis in Yemen are threatening full-scale attacks. It feels like many simply want to destroy Israel.

Update (Day 877) Swords of Iron – Roaring Lion – “Tragedy in the Triumph”

The sea is behind me in northern Israel, and rockets are hitting all over. Not far from Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh was struck directly—a large public bomb shelter hit. As I speak, explosions echo. Since the United States and Israel carried out a joint preemptive strike to halt Iran’s nuclear program and dismantle its ballistic missile capabilities, the region has shifted dramatically.
President Donald Trump, after exhausting efforts to secure a deal, called it what it is: an existential threat to Israel that would eventually reach America. He gave the green light. This moment underscores a hard truth—decisiveness matters. Not rhetoric, but action.
